I watched the Phantom Menace last night for the first time in like 15-20 years. It aged terribly. I didn't think about it as a kid, but watching it as an adult made it more apparent what those describing Jar Jar as a racist caricature were talking about. Also, I don't find "because the memes" a good reason to like a movie. I probably will never watch Ep 1 again - and considering I didn't even like Ep 2 as a kid, I'm not looking forward to that upcoming rewatch.
